General Specifications*
Temperature
Standard range is -40°F to 176°F, -40°C to 80°C with optional stainless steel mounting bolts which maybe required for temperatures below -20°F, -29°C.
Accuracy
Accuracy depends upon proper gauge sizing. Junior and Senior dials ±5%, 4” dials ± 4%, TwinSite® dials ±8%. Hall dial output ±4% of visual reading. Accuracy may be less depending upon tank shape. Accuracy may be less near full and empty. Accuracy may be less if tank is not level. Accuracy may be less due to variations in liquid temperature. This gauge is not to be used for filling. All accuracy estimates are expressed as percent of full scale.
Humidity
For high humidity below ground or under chassis applications, brass, stainless steel or painted aluminum heads are recommended.
Shock & Vibration
Suitable for mobile service applications.
Power
0.5 watts maximum dissipation for TwinSite® versions.
Work Pressure
375 psi. [25,5 Bar].
Approvals
Gauges are UL listed for LP Gas service applications.
When Ordering Specify
1. Gauge head size, Junior or Senior, or model #.
2. Tank diameter shown on nameplate.
3. Mounting location (top, side, end or angle).
4. If the gauge is angle mounted, state angle.
5. If the gauge is end mounted, state the shape of the tank head (hemispherical or semi-ellipsoidal).
6. Specify the “H” dimension (the distance in inches from the surface of the tank to the gasket surface on the riser).
To order a replacement gauge, simply furnish the information stamped on one of the flat sections on the side of the gauge head as shown in the example below.
Note: For installation instructions see MS-501/502 (mounting standard).
